The Daily Bagel

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, an anonymous delivery driver parked his truck outside The Daily Bagel and left a mysterious package on the counter. ‘Open only if you hear three knocks,’ read the note attached. Later that day, as the baker opened the package, out popped a small card with a smiley face and the words: 'Happy customers make us deliver joy!' Turned out it was just a prank from a regular who loved their bagels so much.

2. At midnight, when most bakeries were closed for the night, a mysterious figure began leaving freshly baked bagels on the doorstep of The Daily Bagel. One morning, a sleepy delivery driver found an extra-large bagel with a note: ‘For your early efforts.’ From that day on, everyone assumed it was the bakery’s way of saying thanks for delivering so promptly.

3. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver brought in a giant bag of flour so heavy it took two men to carry it inside. When a curious child asked what it was, the baker replied, ‘It’s our secret ingredient.’ Over time, customers started noticing that their favorite bagels tasted just a little bit different each week—slightly saltier one day, sweeter the next. One regular finally confronted the baker, who grinned and whispered, 'We’ve been experimenting with our secret ingredient!' Turns out, it wasn’t even flour—it was just a neighbor’s mysterious spice jar.'

4. At closing time, an exhausted employee locked up The Daily Bagel and walked home. But every morning, without fail, she found her chair pushed back from the counter just so. Finally, one day, she dared to sit in her spot—only to discover a note on her keyboard: ‘Next time leave my chair alone!’ Turned out it was the grumpy delivery driver who always complained about finding his bike parked there.’
